Syracuse's Jonny Flynn stands out at NBA combine

Dennis Nett / The Post-Standard, 2009Point guard Jonny Flynn led the Orange with 17.4 points and 6.7 assists per game last season.

Syracuse point guard Jonny Flynn is participating in this week's NBA combine, or pre-draft camp, in Chicago. All 30 NBA teams are on hand to watch workouts, interview prospects, and talk about trades.

Reporting for NBA.com, Jonathan Givony writes Stephen Curry "appeared to have the most polish of any point guard in attendance, except possibly Jonny Flynn, who also stood out."

On Thursday, Flynn was booked for a half-day of interviews with NBA team representatives. When asked about SU's six-overtime win over UConn in the Big East Tournament, Flynn said the interviews were more tiring.

"You've got to come in, you've got to talk the whole time, you've got to sit up right, have a presence," said Flynn, "It's way more tiring. Playing basketball, that's the easy part."

Several teams have expressed interest in Flynn, including the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Kings, Wizards, Suns, and Pacers.

Former Syracuse basketball star and fan favorite Gerry McNamara will return to the area this summer to host two weekend basketball camps.

G-Mac says he was inspired while working as a counselor at Michael Jordan's camp a few years ago. "When I went to Jordan's camp, he was there every day the whole week. I'm still impressed by that," McNamara said.

The camps will be held June 12-14 and June 19-21 at Onondaga Community College. The players will be split into two different age groups - grades 2 through 8 and high school.
